TMA01 City Road
While studying module 1 and viewing the content on City Road it is easy to see it is centred on being in the heart of the community and provides an almost “one stop shop” for all cultures, ages and diversity within the community, this can be seen in many town and cities with the streets themselves being created and changed by the very people themselves.

This has also made Ascot a prime location for an affluent community who also see and use the high street as the heart of the community itself.

Railway station that provides the main iflux of visitors to the racecourse itself as well as a main route to London making it an ideal location for mainly high flying business people. Celebrities and royals living there due to it’s reputation.
The race course underwent reconstruction recently to bring it up to date with the needs of the present day and now has an impressive stadium that can incorporate its visitors far better.
The new structure has spilled into the street itself for example a bridge has been added for people to cross during heavy periods when previously the traffic flow had to be manned by police and stopped continually for safety. This is an example of repairing on the street during he times when
